Well okay maybe not perfect, but as I see it mountaineering is a self-destructive addiction to those who are really hooked on it. To me this is what this song is about. It might be a fitting summary of my life, well the dark side of it. Not sure that's what funeral song should about though :) but I love that song and that's my funeral after all Big smile

what's yours?

If I die in he mountains then No self control by Peter Gabriel seems like a solid choice.

Let Your Devil Come Inside by Hail Spirit Noir would be perfect for me !
Especially for the lyrics : "let your devil come inside, let your soul fly up to the sky". 

I don't think there will be many people at my funeral LOL

Funerals are more for the living, but if I had to choose the choice would be obvious

Hi,
 
Easy!
 
Only one!
 
"Apocaliptyc Bore" by Amon Duul 2 in Vive La Trance
 
(And in the bathroom, while sitting on the stool, my nephew will be listening to "Fly to the Rainbow" by Scorpions from their 2nd album!)
 
How fitting ... how ironic, and how sadly beautiful at the same time!
 
That's the movie and the script that I have already written, and it is dedicated to my mom, who hated Luis Bunuel, and my father made fun of it, by writing a play that had all the women sulking, sneaking, and whatever all over the place, and one mom changing diapers in the corner, and ... you got it ...
 
For the reality, I want my ashes thrown over Triangle Lake in Oregon. If they dare bury me and make some kind of a Christian bullsh*t funeral, I will have them all cursed for eternity with bad poetry and worse music and ugly smells!
 
Happy now?

I would love to have a playlist including "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" and "The Musical Box" at my funeral.
